Full towers,anything new out there?

game4it · 2 Feb 2010 at 09:52

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a full tower as i plan to wc in the next few months.
I want as much rad space as possible,say a triple and double rad.

The only cases thats seems to fit my needs are the coolermaster 840 and the silverstone TJ07.

So my question is,
Are there any new cases coming out at all?
Google didnt produce much info bar the new haf.

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Both nice cases you mentioned, I went for the Antec 1200 full tower and water cooled it, my thread is here if you want a read or comment - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18103462

Yes i've seen your build (i lurk but dont post much

)
Its very well done but i'm not a fan of the 1200 unfortunately

You'd fit it all in my Lian Li PC-A71F, but as of yet they only do a single fan top panel upgrade. Although they do a triple fan for the older full towers so I guess it's only a matter of time. Alternatively you could mod the existing top panel quite easily.

You can't really go wrong with any antec case, there all built very well.

I've seen that case on my quest to find something and i do like it.The top panel was the thing that put me off it.I wouldn't mind modding a case but i dont own a dremel so its not cost effective for me to buy one and a case that needs "straight lined mods"

Thanks for the replies though guys

I have a P182 myself so i dont disagree with you there but the 1200 is just not to my taste

Seems there is an A71 three-fan top-panel available (if you know where to look):

So, the PC-A71F, and that panel (£32.99), job done

For fitting two radiators without them being all over the place TJ07 and similar design Lian Li V2010/2110 with their lower chamber would be best.

That doesn't work, hole for I/O connectors is for smaller older connector panel in A71A/B.
A7110's has similar bigger connector panel.

Not sure what you are getting at. I recommended an A71F case, and that's an A71 top panel. The A7110 has nothing to do with anything.

I wouldn't say that having (if using say Cm 840) a read top mounted and one on the hard drive racks would look "all over the place" imo.
I'm not looking to have to do to much modding as it would pain me to start chopping up a brand new expensive case plus i think the missus would kill me if she saw me at it.
